parentNode

Is a member of:

DOMDocument
XMLDOMNode
XMLDOMAttribute
XMLDOMCDATASection
XMLDOMComment
XMLDOMDocumentFragment
XMLDOMDocumentType
XMLDOMElement
XMLDOMEntity
XMLDOMEntityReference
XMLDOMNotation
XMLDOMProcessingInstruction
XMLDOMText
XTLRuntime

Syntax

set objXMLDOMNode = objXMLDOMNode.parentNode

Remark

This property is read-only. Whereas the ownerDocument object returns the root of the document, the parentNode returns the parentNode for the current Node. All Nodes except Document, DocumentFragment, and Attribute Nodes can have a parentNode.

When we create a Node and it has not yet been added to the tree-or if it has been removed from the tree-the parent is NULL. (See the createNode() or createElement() methods later in this section for more information on how to do this.)
